The excellent educational programme provided for our care children is based on the early childhood curriculum Te Whariki.  This is complemented by the many extra-curricular activities and programmes we offer.  Visit our "parents" link on the left-hand menu for more information about how we work. 

Homebased care with Easy Mind Waikato is $4.80 per hour, and depending on your household circumstances, parents/whanau earning up to $99,319 gross per year may be entitled to a Work and Income childcare subsidy of up to $3.70 per hour.  Please contact a Work and Income office or visit www.workingforfamilies.govt.nz for more information.

Fees are to be paid one week in advance and are due on the first day of care each week.  Fees are calculated to the nearest quarter of an hour.

Easy Mind Waikato offers all 3, 4 and 5*-year-old children enrolled in our service up to 20 hours of childcare a week, funded by the Ministry of Education’s 20 Hours ECE programme. 

*  To access 20 Hours ECE, 5-year-old children must not be enrolled in school.
